This training curriculum, taught by Dr. Stephen Dansiger, EMDRIA Approved Consultant and Senior Faculty with The Institute for Creative Mindfulness, consists of 42 hours of EMDRIA-approved training in EMDR therapy. After these 6 days of training with an additional 10 hours of EMDRIA approved consultation, participants will be considered by EMDRIA to be fully trained in EMDR Therapy. Whether your goal is to become an EMDR therapist as a specialty or you want to integrate it into your already existing practice, this training program will help you meet your goals.
